Description

Nestled in the heart of the Essex Countryside, Old Essex Barn is a charming and rustic venue that dates back to the 15th century.

The Property was acquired by the existing owners in 2019, and it originally formed part of Crabbs Farm. Since then, it has been transformed into a highly sought-after events venue, quickly establishing itself as a popular wedding destination in Essex.

The Property comprises five luxurious en-suite farmhouse guest bedrooms and a bridal suite, along with seven outdoor lodges (The Shepherd's Huts) for extra guest accommodation. There is an additional barn which has been created to accommodate three further en-suite bedrooms. There are also outdoor landscaped gardens, a restaurant, indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces, an outdoor courtyard space, a bridal dressing room and bridal lounge.
